USA Triathlon Monday Notebook

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – It was a busy weekend on the North American multisport race calendar with top events ranging from Quebec and Philadelphia to Idaho and Texas. Americans found their way to the podium in each race to continue a solid 2010 for the red, white and blue.

USA Triathlon takes a look back at last weekend’s action and looks ahead to this week’s biggest races on the elite calendar in what has become a regular weekly feature on usatriathlon.org.

Brown was second in 1 hour, 52 minutes, 48 seconds behind Canada’s Andrew Yorke, who was the winner in 1:52:14. Brandon took fifth in 1:53:35, and Greg Billington (Spokane, Wash.) and Nicholas Vandam (Eagan, Minn.) were eighth and ninth, respectively.

Potts quickly overcame a 30-second deficit on the swim and held a comfortable lead on the bike and run to win by nearly four minutes in 8:24:40. Corbin pulled in front on mile 18 of the run and went on to win by nearly six minutes in 9:17:54.
